How Rich People Smoke Pot
Paul Schrodt writes on the Daily Beast:
As the executive director of NORML, the leading lobbying organization for pot smokers? rights, Allen St. Pierre gets asked a lot of strange questions. But the one he?s been getting lately is, ?What is that metal thing they use on Weeds?? The answer is the Volcano Vaporizer, a smokeless inhalation device that has recently shown up on both the Showtime series and HBO?s Bored to Death, in which a sexy stoner played by Jenny Slate lures Jason Schwartzman into her bedroom to test one out. (?Just squeeze down on that nipple and suck in the vapors,? she coaches him.) It?s even used at the renowned Chicago restaurant Alinea, albeit unconventionally, to pipe aromas of nutmeg and coffee to diners as they eat dessert. The Volcano is affectionately known as the ?Mercedes Benz? of toking up. ?If you live in Ohio, or if you?re a baby boomer who has no problem with cannabis, and you see them using that, you?re asking, ?What?s going on??? says Pierre. ?There?s a veneer of sophistication to it. This is not your daddy?s bong.?
